bromide in 200 g of water, assuming complete dissociation of Magnesium bromide.(Molar
mass of Magnesium bromide = 184 g mol–1, Kf for water = 1.86 K kg mol–1).
(b). A 4% solution(w/w) of sucrose (M = 342 g mol–1) in water has a freezing point of 271.15
K. Calculate the freezing point of 5% glucose (M = 180 g mol–1) in water.(Given; Freezing
point of pure water = 273.15 K)
2. (a).The freezing point of benzene decreases by 2.12 K when 2.5 g of benzoic acid
(C6H5COOH) is dissolved in 25 g of benzene. If benzoic acid forms a dimer in benzene,
calculate the van’t Hoff factor and the percentage association of benzoic acid. (Kf for
benzene = 5.12 K kg mol-1) .
(b). Calculate the freezing point of a solution containing 0.5 g KCl (Molar mass = 74.5 g/mol)
dissolved in 100 g water, assuming KCl to be 92% ionized. Kf of water = 1.86 K kg / mol.

diluted with helium (11.7% helium, 56.2% nitrogen and 32.1% oxygen)?
(ii). Assume that argon exerts a partial pressure of 6 bar. Calculate the solubility of argon
gas in water. (Given Henry’s law constant for argon dissolved in water, KH = 40 kbar)
4. (a) A solution of glucose in water is labeled as 10% by weight . What should be the molality
of the solution ? molar mass of glucose is 180 g/mol
(b) How does theRaoult’s law is a special case of Henry law .

raoult’s law ? Give an example .
5. (a) A 10% solution of sucrose in water has afreezing point 269.15K .Calculate the freezing
point of 10% glucose in water if the freezing point of pure water is 272.15 K . (Given molar
mass of sucrose 342g/mol, molar mass of glucose 180 g/mol)
